One of the goals in 2010 is to further develop the standard that will allow the sharing of protected areas data between organizations, countries and industry - ultimately resulting in a globally complete and accurate dataset for protected areas. The new Data Standard will facilitate the comparison and analysis of global protected areas data and will help to speed the updating of the WDPA. In the past year over 40 countries have been updated with over 40,000 sites. The implementation of a more rigorous validation process means that thousands of geometry errors have been identified & corrected and over a thousand duplicate sites have been removed from the WDPA. There are approximately 138,000 sites now available through the WDPA.

Hi all, I've been looking for a motion detection light switch that after it automatically turned on, I could manually flip the switch and thus would keep the light on only until the switch was manually turned off.
All the switches I've found has a toggle that can switch light off, but it would also still turn light off automatically if no motion was detected after a time.
This is for a room where one might be reading, thus no motion for the switch to detect.
Anyone know if such a switch exists?
Thanks for any help.
I was under the impression that this was pretty much a feature of all of them. the MC switches we have in the offices here do have the ability to push the switch and keep the lights on. otherwise, we'd be in the dark all the time :-D
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Not exactly sure what you need, but most if not all motion lights will stay on manually if you quickly turn on and off the switch twice. The device will stay illuminated till you return the switch to off. Hope this helps what you are after.
Electrical storms tend to do that to many a device with its brief power outages.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...

November 10, 2009
Earthjustice has challenged EPA to clean up air emissions from hazardous waste incinerators, cement kilns and other industrial sources. The following statement is from Earthjustice attorney James Pew:
"We've continually raised concerns about the dangers of eating mercury-contaminated fish. We applaud EPA for highlighting this dangerous phenomenon and acknowledging the fact that burning more fossil fuels leads to more chemicals in our water bodies and in fish.
"We're pleased the agency has committed to developing new rules to reduce mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants and cement kilns."

Austin >Restaurants > Sam's Bar-B-Cue
2000 E 12th St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870230.274225 -97.718816
Mon-Sat 5:30pm-4am
Sun 5:30pm-12am
Neighborhoods: Chestnut
Sam's is the perfect next choice for great BBQ in east Austin when a 3-hour wait at Franklin doesn't cut it. Sam's doesn't look like much from the outside but the brisket and ribs leave BBQ lovers full and satisfied.
Sam's Glory Days are gone with the 90s – At lunch time in the 90s this place would have a line out the door (I only say the 90s because that is when I had my first Sam's experience). The BBQ was top notch.
At lunch today - I was the ONLY customer at 12:15 and it is because the food is horrible. It makes me sad to say it - don't get me wrong - but it was truly the worst BBQ I have had in a while.
Beans - no flavor, Potato salad - store bought, Sauce - gross. The meat - all fat.
They don't even serve drinks anymore - you have to get a coke from a coke machine for a dollar. I need sweet tea with my BBQ.
Now the service - wonderful as always - couldn't be nicer. But service doesn't make up for poor quality food.
Sorry Sam's your best days are behind you :(
Don't forget the banana pudding!! – I was born and raised in Houston, Texas I been to Gabby's, Goode Co., Stubb's, Salt Lick, tons of BBQ restaurants. Let me tell you, this place is the lick! In a piece of BBQ, no matter where you go, you're looking for tender meat with lots of flavor and a tasty sauce. Folks, I didn't even touch the sauce, it's THAT flavorful. This joint is a total score for folks who want to get down on some real Texas BBQ. Damn.
Legendary barbecue joint caters to musicians and night owls. – While East 12th Street is regarded as one of Austin's toughest neighborhoods, it is also home to some of the most succulent of meats. A humble brick exterior and dirt parking lot lend to a rustic, well-worn feel. Inside, the vibe is equally casual, where it's practice for the staff to place your 'cue of choice onto butcher paper, then douse it in sauce. It's a tradition that has kept locals and notable musicians loyal through the years. The walls are a veritable scrapbook of who has eaten here, from Bruce Springstein to Bushwick Bill.
Way,Way over rated – It started with the potato salad...ice cream scoop of Wal Mart quality ..
Ribs, brisket were warmed over..
Sausage represented as being hot did not have one iota of spicey taste..
Watery tasting sauce of unknown taste
Only drink available was a watered down Kool Aide
If you are the owner, you need to get back in the kitchen
A real find... and wifi too?!?! – Sam's could use a little remodeling but even though the slightly run down exterior is the first thing a new visitor will see, the brisket served inside makes up for any aesthetic flaws the restaurant has. It's open late and it even has free wifi!
Best backyard bbq in central Texas – Sams is the stuff of bbq for the most exquisite taste buds. I drive 30 miles and past countless other bbq joints in favor of Sams. The store is not much to look at yet it's filled with Texas flavor and decor. The folks working there are as warm as the bbq they are serving. If your looking to enjoy true country bbq right here in the capital of Texas...you've gotta go here! TWO BBQ THUMBS UP!
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – A longtime favorite hangout of Austin musicians, thanks to great brisket, great chicken and great hours.
Let me tell u somethin 'bout Q... – First, my wife and I have never been to the restaurant; we only tasted it at a party. But, that's the entire point. When you have no idea where the food comes from, you can taste with a non-judgmental palate.
We are Bar B Q connoisseurs. We have had BBQ from Memphis, Atlanta, Detroit, Puerto Rico, Richmond, Jackson Ms, Cancun, New Orleans, Miami, Pensacola, Orlando, New York, Milwaukee, Chicago, all over Texas... you get the point.
This restaurant's food was so good that she had to find out its name from coworkers. My wife was waxin poetic about the best BBQ shed ever put in her mouth. Before she could get the whole story out, several coworkers said, Oh! We know! On 12th Street?
It is the best in the US. We are going tonight to get some. I will never be satisfied with any other BBQ ever.
Nuff sed.
Really Bad Barbecue! – My husband and I live in east Austin and are always looking for a new great hole-in-the-wall place. We read the reviews of this place on citysearch and were excited to try it. We arrived at 8 on a Saturday and were the only ones in the place. The employees were very friendly and the place had a lot of character. But, the food was aweful. It was not bad in the "I like my bbq a certain kind of way bad." It was just plain bad. The ribs were dry to the bone and burned and the sauce was terrible. The sausage was horrible. The beans were bad in a way hard to describe - too much vinegar? We really wanted to like it and maybe they make a new batch of food for the 2 am crowd that is much better than the stuff we got.
The best BBQ in town – Of all the BBQ places (the real ones, not those generic ones) Sam's is the best. I always get the mixed plate, and I must say, try everything. The food is prepared for you right there and everytime I go there, the meat I order is always being taken out of the stove and ready to serve. The staff are very friendly and I love talking to the staff when I go there. I know many people may not feel comfortable about going to the location of where it's at late at night, but trust me, I have been there late at night after leaving 6th street and I have seen all walks of life from all over Austin(Westlake, South Austin, Round Rock, Leander, Manor, Northeast Austin, San Marcos, and other surrounding areas) stop by and get a plate to go.

This is a joke, right? One Life to LIve should be number one, and should General Hospital even be on this list?ReplyDelete
I would have included Guiding Light or As The World Turns in the list.ReplyDelete
Honestly, I don't believe these results. Did someone fail math class when counting was being taught? WTH is One Life to Live?ReplyDelete
I agree with GH being number one and I'm a fan on AMC as well, but who is this random guy talking about why it's #1? If they could show a clip with Susan, why couldn't they show anything with any GH people?ReplyDelete
Honestly not a fair poll when u have abc who made the poll. Disagree number one should be one life to live. Second guiding light/as the world turns. Third GH four days of our lives. Then Amc, young and the restless and last bold beautifulReplyDelete
I adored Another World but didn't expect it to make this list. Ryan's Hope, Santa Barbara, Search for Tomorrow, The Edge of Night are other shows that might have received lots of votes. And B&B of the remaining daytime soaps.ReplyDelete
It's cool that Dark Shadows, off the air 41 years, still has such a passionate fanbase.
"GH" deserves to be number one. Up until in recent years "GH" had the strongest writing, the most memorable storylines and remained very popular with fans.ReplyDelete
"OLTL" was always the ugly step-child when it came to ABC's soaps. It had never much meaning in the public eye or such an impact like "DAYS", "GH", "Y&R", "AMC" or "Dark Shadows" had.
why was oltl not on the top five. oltl had divesity the first african american family on soaps. it was about middle class people rich people interacting with each other in everyday life. although great soaps WHY DARK SHADOWS OR YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. DID THEY forget about as the world turns or guiding light. please whoever voted on these best of never watched soapsReplyDelete
No GL, the granddaddy! OLTL should have been on list.ReplyDelete
I was so glad to see "Dark Shadows" make this list. For those griping about that, this show helped put fledgling ABC Daytime on the map and redefined the vampire character for many shows to follow. It also is the only soap I know of to be completely available on DVD, have a TV remake and 3 movies made from it, one of the movies being A list all the way.ReplyDelete
It was a sensation in its time, although frankly, I do agree that GH on the basis of the hysteria over Luke and Laura probably deserves the top spot.
The only Soap I would have added would have been "Guiding Light" shame on them by not adding it!!ReplyDelete
Is there a special reason why One Life to Live is not on the list? This is ridiculous. As a lifelong viewer of both AMC and OLTL, I can say for sure that OLTL deserves to be on that list more than AMC.ReplyDelete
Just another blow to the fans by the jerks at ABC/D.
ATWT was the number one soap opera for around 20 years. That should count for something. Penny and Jeff were the first super couple. Eileen Fulton played the first "bitch" as well as be featured in the first and only prime time spin off. ATWT also had Kathy Hayes who is a super actress who won emmy nominations for 2 prime time tv shows. Not to forget Meg Ryan, Julliane Moore, and others who started on this show.ReplyDelete
To be fair all the shows merit praise but it does seem ATWT is underated as a classic soap.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Oct 01, 2008
According to the Pew Research Center, interest in news about the U.S. economy skyrocketed last week, with 70% of Americans following economic developments very closely, up from 56% the previous week. Interest in economic news is broadly bipartisan with equal proportions of Republicans, Democrats and independents following news about current economic conditions very closely.
The public also paid close attention to the battle in Washington over a plan to use government funds to stabilize financial markets. That debate melded economic news with closely-followed presidential election coverage, as John McCain briefly suspended his campaign to return to Washington to play a role. As lawmakers and administration officials worked on an ill-fated compromise last weekend, 60% of the public was following developments very closely.
From a historical perspective, interest in news about the economic crisis, while not as high as interest in the Challenger disaster or 9/11, rivals interest in other major news stories of the past 20 years. With 70% of the public now following news about it very closely, the current economic crisis becomes one of the top ten most closely followed news stories in two decades of Pew Research Center news interest surveys.

At Palace Korean BBQ, diners watch as meats sizzle atop tableside barbecue pits, flanked by a colorful mélange of marinated vegetables, rice, and Korean condiments. In addition to Korean barbecue, kim-chi, and bi bim bop dishes, Palace's expert chefs chop fresh ingredients and simmer them in teriyaki sauce or roll them into fresh sushi and sashimi. Their sharable Japanese shabu-shabu dishes also warm empty bellies.
Decorated with minimalistic earth tones, Asian masks, and dark wooden tables and chairs, the dining room fuses traditional and contemporary elements better than a supercomputer glued to a horse-drawn carriage. Throughout the eatery, bamboo stalks spring up from square pots, glowing in the same neon lights that illuminate the fully-stocked bar.
Though rooted in Korean culinary traditions, the dishes at Red Holic might feel familiar even to those foreign to that gustatory language. Seven types of kimbap—a translation of the maki roll—enfold everything from spicy squid to Spam within a soft blanket of white rice and sweetened radish. Similar to blood sausage, soondae encases noodles and veggies within pig intestine, toppoki dishes pair rice cake with egg or dumplings, and Holic meals frame sautéed beef or Korean-style pork as the centerpiece. As if the flavor profiles and colorful ingredient weren't enough to entice the senses, Red Holic stays true to its name, surrounding guests in a crimson wonderland speckled with white-topped tables and solid black chairs. To fill the wall space, reliefs feature domestic themes, including clotheslines laden with pins and a watering can hanging over flowers, constantly suspended by the cooks' telekinesis.
Korean specialties such as barbecue short ribs, kimchi, and—of course—tofu soup fill the menu at this casual restaurant with outposts in Annandale and Centreville. Among the chefs' crowning offerings are steaming bowls of bi bim bap that cradle bulgogi (Korean-style marinated beef) as well as heaps of bean sprouts, corn, and fried egg. Depending on personal tastes, the spice levels of each dish can be custom calibrated from ultra-mild "white" to three-alarm "spicy spicy." But not all dishes served here come to the table piping hot, including the cool naegn myun soup, a refreshing summer dish loaded with buckwheat noodles, slices of beef, and hints of Noreaster.
The sounds of sputtering grill tops, clattering utensils, and lively conversation fill the dining room at Honey Pig Gooldaegee Korean Grill, earning it praise from the Washington Post in 2010 as "one of the most entertaining barbecues around." The menu brims with both familiar and adventurous meats, including pork belly, beef ribs, and pork neck. Diners soak in Korean culture via both the food and K-pop, selecting a protein-rich spread and watching as the servers sear their orders on solar-heated tableside grills.
At Hot Spot, there are as many chefs as there are customers. That's because every customer gets to be the chef, and be in charge of creating and cooking their Asian-fusion hot pot. They start by picking out a type of steaming hot broth, which they will then use to cook their chosen meats, seafood, tofu, and vegetables. To pair with this, they can then create their own blend of dipping sauces from varieties such as the garlic, soy, and green onion sauces. Once meats and vegetables have cooked to a desired texture, clients can dip them in the sauces for added flavor. Each meal comes with as much as you can eat, which allows guests to invent many different dishes without building their own kitchen in the dining room.
Lauded for both its cuisine and its atmosphere, Woo Lae Oak seats diners in spacious tables, booths, and portable pods, in which they can enjoy a distinctly Korean-American blend of abstract wall furnishings and traditional Korean artwork. The expansive bar, centered about a large fireplace with a modern tile hearth, features ample space for enjoying Soju and sushi. Please call ahead to confirm your reservation.

Nigeria: shell kept out of ogoniland and forced into courtrooms
A Shell gas flare at Rumuekpe © E GilliganIt is unsurprising, then, that gas flaring is a major factor in the tension and conflicts raging in the Niger Delta region. Yet companies including Shell have persistently refused to put a stop to gas flaring in the Delta.
Friends of the Earth Nigeria/Environmental Rights Action have been campaigning for many years to stop Shell's wasteful and polluting practices. Besides raising Nigerian citizens' awareness they have also been using legal channels to force oil companies in Nigeria to clean up their operations.
In November 2005, the Federal High Court of Nigeria ordered that gas flaring must stop in the Niger Delta Iwherekan community, because it violated guaranteed constitutional rights to life and dignity. The judge also declared that Nigerian gas flaring was unconstitutional. This was the first time that a Nigerian court's decision applied rights guaranteed by the country's constitution to an environmental case. In 2009 the government announced it would ban gas flaring in early 2010. In spite of this success, however, the government has yet to actually force the oil companies to stop flaring.
The legal strategy, in combination with continuous campaigning and pressuring the oil companies and the government, is starting to pay off in other ways as well. Oil spills and gas flaring cases have succeeded in putting Shell under a global spotlight, even though the government has not yet put a full stop to such practices. The cases have also forced Shell to reveal at least some information about its operations in Nigeria.
Recently, Shell was also expelled from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index: according to several sources this was due to its continuous pollution in Nigeria. This is a strong blow to the company's reputation.
Shell has earned itself international notoriety for its well-documented environmental destruction and complicity in human rights abuses in the Niger Delta. This triggered the formation of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) in the Niger Delta, led by Ken Saro-Wiwa and other community leaders from the Ogoni region. In November 1995, however, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others were executed by the military dictatorship, and legal actions have ensued, charging Shell with complicity in these killings. Lawyers from Friends of the Earth Nigeria/ERA were part of the defence team for the late Ken Saro-Wiwa and are supporting ongoing cases against pollution.
In June 2009, a landmark case against Shell was resolved out of court, ahead of a pending trial in New York: Shell paid US$15.5 million in compensation to the victims of human rights abuses in Ogoniland. However, despite its decision to settle, the corporation issued a statement that claimed, "Shell had no part in the violence that took place."
On 3 December 2009, a unique legal action issued by four Nigerian victims of Shell oil leaks in three communities, in conjunction with Friends of the Earth Netherlands/Milieudefensie, began at the court in The Hague. This is the first time in history that a major Dutch company has been brought to trial in a Dutch court for damages occurring abroad. Following preliminary claims from Shell relating to process issues, which have now been rejected by the Dutch court, the 'real' lawsuit will begin in 2011.
Shell continues to be pursued by further cases. In January 2011, Friends of the Earth International, FoE Netherlands/Milieudefensie and Amnesty International also filed a complaint against the oil company before the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), over the company's claims that oil spills in the Niger Delta are almost entirely due to acts of sabotage. The plaintiffs are challenging the validity of the figures that Shell has given regarding the causes of oil leaks in Nigeria, which Shell claims are primarily due to sabotage. These highly misleading statements lead to immense difficulty for the communities, as the company is not obliged to pay compensation for damage if the cause of a spill is sabotage.
Shell remains shut out of Ogoniland and until it cleans up its pollution and ends gas flaring throughout the Niger Delta, it will be
forced into courtrooms until justice is served.
Furthermore, communities across the Niger Delta – including those that are not directly affected – have gained confidence in their ability to challenge oil companies. More communities have actively engaged in legal cases, including a community youth organisation that has made a political demand for the Agip oil company to cease gas flaring in their community.
Friends of the Earth Nigeria regularly distributes fact-sheets and newsletters, places ads in local newspapers and holds 'town hall' meetings in the affected communities, to keep local people up to date with the legal work and to strengthen their faith in the legal cases. Staff members also make field trips in the Niger Delta to identify communities affected by new spills, and to record damaging impacts to be presented as further evidence.
In 2010, oil giant Shell announced that it would invest US$600 million in phasing out one third of gas flaring in Nigeria, and in March 2011, the president of Nigeria announced a gas revolution that many argue will end gas flaring. Whether this will really happen is doubtful though: a study of this so-called revolution shows that it focuses on bringing investment into Nigeria, without any indication as to whether the gas to be utilised would be previously flared gas or gas sourced from new gas fields. In addition, after endless deadline shifts, the Nigerian state resorted to a new trick at COP-15 in Copenhagen, when carbon speculators were told that flare gas would now be used for electricity generation, and would attract carbon credits through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Even though gas flaring has been illegal for decades, the UNFCCC declared that a couple of these proposals would qualify as CDM projects. This route threatens even more stalling on bringing an end to illegal gas flaring in the oil fields of the Niger Delta. Resistance will continue.

Penn State should follow Saban's advice, focus on desired outcome
Story Highlights
Nick Saban stressed considering desired outcome instead of merely punishment
Death Penalty proponents want pound of flesh, but aren't thinking Saban's way
Instead of hammering football, Penn State can do something that really matters
HOOVER, Ala. -- Nick Saban almost immediately wished he hadn't made the suggestion Thursday at SEC Media Days.
"You guys will probably wear my ass out for saying that," the Alabama coach said.
Indeed, when word of Saban's idea for a solution to the question of how to punish Penn State for the cover-up that allowed Jerry Sandusky to continue preying on children hit various social media outlets, some roundly criticized Saban's suggestion to tax tickets to Penn State sporting events and donate the proceeds to an organization that helps child abuse victims. Others liked the idea. Others approved of the concept, but wanted to see it tweaked so it didn't pass along the cost to the rank-and-file fan.
That's why it's healthy that Saban spoke up Thursday. It's important that Bay Area columnist Ray Ratto wrote a piece Saturday that suggested making the football program a "non-profit entity" and using net revenue to fund child abuse aid programs. Both ideas got people talking about tangible, constructive ways to deal with the Penn State issue. It's also important that the Big Ten has tossed out some ideas, obtained by the excellent Brad Wolverton of The Chronicle of Higher Education, including allowing commissioner Jim Delany to fire or suspend coaches or kicking Penn State out of the league. Neither of these are particularly palatable suggestions. Empowering the commissioner to make decisions that should be made at the campus level could lead to abuse. And while it is the prerogative of the Big Ten's members to decide if they want to associate with Penn State, booting the school from the league would punish a lot of innocent athletes as well as researchers who benefit from the Committee on Institutional Cooperation -- the academic consortium that includes the Big Ten schools and the University of Chicago. Still, those ideas could lead to meaningful discussion about ways to ensure accountability when the system breaks down as it did at Penn State.
Since the release of the Freeh Report last week, most calls for action have come from those who either want the football program shut down, the statue of Joe Paterno torn down* or both. People scream for the NCAA to hand down the Death Penalty. They want their pound of flesh, but they have yet to articulate why the benefits of such punishment would outweigh the consequences that would harm people who had nothing to do with the cover-up and offer no punitive action to the actual guilty parties.
*As for the statue, it's a statue. It doesn't matter. It's up to the people at Penn State to decide what they want the world to know they cherish. If they want the world to know they cherish a man who enabled a child rapist, by all means, leave the statue standing. If they would prefer the world didn't believe they support the enabling of child rape, they should remove the statue. It's pretty simple, really.
Saban made an interesting point Thursday. "Everybody's always worried about, what's the punishment?" he said. "The way I try to always look at it is, what's the outcome?... I think you can take any problem and say 'What outcome do we want' and maybe come up with a better solution sometimes of how you move forward. I guess that's a philosophical thing."
So what is the desired outcome here? For football programs to be accountable? Shutting down SMU's program in the '80s didn't stop other schools from paying players. Hammering USC hasn't kept players at other schools from taking money from agents. Nothing about the NCAA's current penalty model suggests it alters undesired behavior in any meaningful way.
What about a constructive rather than destructive solution? What about helping victims of child abuse and helping adults identify the signs of abuse so they might help a child and catch predators? That can be done, but it requires money. Fortunately, money is something the Penn State football program has. According to figures the school submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, Penn State's football program took in $72.7 million in revenue versus $19.5 million in expenses during the 2010-11 school year. Saban's idea would pass along the cost to average fans, so that isn't the perfect solution. Ratto's idea would take money currently used to subsidize non-revenue sports at Penn State and might punish those athletes, so it isn't perfect, either. But both ideas offer excellent jumping off points for a discussion about finding a way to make progress after a truly disgusting tragedy.
The NCAA shutting down the program would interrupt the academic careers of more than 100 players who were in elementary school when Paterno, Penn State president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley agreed they wouldn't contact law enforcement officials about Sandusky. A shutdown also would cost program employees their jobs -- not wealthy coaches, but secretaries, trainers and other support staff who had nothing to do with the cover-up -- and would harm the athletes in other sports who rely on football to pay for their scholarships. A shutdown also would economically cripple some of the people who work in the hotels, cook in the restaurants and drive the taxis in State College.
So why not try to find a solution that doesn't punish those innocent people but still allows for meaningful action? Penn State could immediately put any planned athletic facility improvements on hold and announce it will use football money only to pay for the basic operation of the athletic department and debt service. Beyond that, every penny would go to an existing or new organization that would not only support the victims of child abuse but also help educate the public on the importance of speaking up when something is wrong. Few positives can come out of such a tragedy, but if a program can keep even one child from getting abused, it is an infinitely better solution than blasting Penn State's football program off the face of the earth and harming those who didn't commit the crime. Penn State's leaders might have to tighten the budget in the athletic department, but they could find a way to donate huge sums for such a program. Penn State gave more than $2.6 million in bowl revenue for its new Center for the Protection of Children. It can do better than that. Promise $15 million-$20 million a year for a 10-year period, and the leaders will have to remember how Penn State failed every time they pinch another penny. Donate that kind of money, and the professionals who fight child abuse every day might be able to create meaningful change.
Could some fat-cat donors simply toss in some money and keep business operating as usual? Perhaps, but that's an awful lot of money. More important, it's an awful lot of money that wouldn't otherwise be funding something that could help real people.
The leaders at Penn State, the NCAA and the Big Ten need to consider Saban's advice. Not the tax, necessarily, but the concept of choosing a desired solution before choosing a punishment. What do they want to accomplish here? Do they want to leave a smoking crater? Or do they want to build something that matters?

This is Leatherman's best, current, general purpose product, primarily because of the low price. The classic Wave has more stuff, but it's also three times the price (and it's not three times the mutli-tool). The only real drawback to the Wingman is the pocket clip - a sheath should have been included but it has to be ordered from Leatherman for at least an additional $5. Nonethelss, unless there's something specific on the Wave (or any of the other pricey Leatherman multi-tools) for which you're willing to pay a hefty premium, stick with the Wingman (and cough up the extra money for a real sheath for it, too).

I read some of the bad reviews on here but I really don't have anything to complain about. They give you fresh linen, including a towel when you check in. Staff was excellent. provide a key to get in after 10 PM when the front door is locked, another key for your own room. Mattresses in my room where totally quiet, I had no trouble with them squeaking at night whatsoever. Met some of the best people I have on my travels so far. Location is superb! No lockers in rooms, may have had some elsewhere

We got a male and female dorms. We found out there are people who are homeless, run away from home, pushed by own family, drug addict ... the beds are awful. i bet the rooms haven't been cleaned for years, smells like mold. Pretty shock for us to arrive this place like this. We think we HAVE to give this review cos we don't want others backpackers got shocked and felt uncomfortable like us. We had to move to another hotel on next day! There are LOTS better and safe hostels in Cambodia than this!

Most of the staff was antisocial and possibly stoned on the job. The total alcohol ban was disappointing but likely due to understandable incidents in the past. Broken windows, broken toilets, and just general uncleanliness really added to the obvious age of the building. I stay at hostels for the social aspect and there were apparently upwards of 50 people around but due to the layout and stifling atmosphere of the building I barely met anyone. I would only stay here again to save money.

The staff is incredibly helpful and nice. Th building is old and very filthy. The beds squeak every time you even think about moving, so bring ear plugs! There is no ladder for the bunk bed, be prepared to do acrobatics if you are on the top bed! Make sure you bring flip-flops for the shower stall. As usual, the best thing about these hostels is the location, location, location!

Q. What does seeing a doctor "on assignment" mean?
A. When you're enrolled in traditional Medicare and go to any new doctors for the first time, always ask whether they accept Medicare patients and, if so, whether they accept assignment. Their answers to these questions affect how much you pay:
- A doctor who accepts assignment is agreeing to charge you no more than the amount Medicare pays for the service you receive. Medicare pays 80 percent of this amount, and you pay 20 percent (after you've met your annual Part B deductible). The doctor bills Medicare directly, as you are "assigning" Medicare to pay the doctor for your care.
- A doctor who does not accept assignment can charge you up to a maximum of 15 percent more than Medicare pays for the service you receive.
- A doctor who has opted out of Medicare cannot bill Medicare for services you receive and is not bound by Medicare's limitations on charges. You enter into a private contract with the doctor, agreeing to pay his or her bills directly. You cannot claim reimbursement from Medicare under this arrangement.
The chart shows an example of what Medicare pays and what you pay under each of these scenarios:
|Doctor accepts assignment
|Doctor does not
accept assignment
|Doctor has opted out of Medicare
|Doctor's bill
|Amount Medicare approves
|Medicare pays
|$80 (80%)
|$80 (80%)
|You pay
|$20 (20%)
|$20 (20%)
|Additional charge above Medicare-approved amount
|$15 (maximum
15% in excess of amount Medicare approves)
|You pay in total
The same rules apply not just to doctors but also to most other outpatient providers. However, suppliers of durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs and oxygen equipment) that don't accept assignment are not bound by Medicare's limits rule on charges and are allowed to bill you more than 15 percent above the Medicare-approved amount.
These rules affect you only if you're in traditional Medicare. If you're enrolled in a Medicare private health plan, you pay what your plan requires, as explained in the plan's information packet and on its website.
To find doctors in your area who participate in Medicare (including those who accept assignment on all claims), go to www.medicare.gov. Then enter your ZIP code or city, click on "physcian" and select the specialty you want from the drop-down menu that appears. Or call the Medicare help line at 1-800-633-4227.

Last Black Friday, Joni Crothers and 16 of her friends and family donated $10,000 worth of gifts, which they scored for only $2,000.
That's why last year, Joni Crothers and 16 of her friends and family, dubbed her "coupon-tourage," assembled at her Ohio home at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. But the real planning began months before, when they first met in July to discuss strategy.
Crothers was no discount-chasing newbie. She started cutting coupons four years ago when her husband lost his automotive factory job. Now, she said her finely honed couponing skills rack up $100,000 worth of free goods each year.
Crothers has gone hunting for Black Friday deals for 16 years, but last year the stakes were higher. Armed with wish lists from several needy families in the community, the group set out to find the desired items and donate the entire haul.
The basic strategy was simple: For each item, find the store offering the lowest price and be there when it opened. But the reality was much more complex.
The coupon-tourage met six times between July and November to chart their course: Scouring advertisements leaked online, evaluating trunk space, mapping out routes to stores and pinpointing each item's location located inside. They also collected cash and gift cards from people in the community who weren't inclined to join the Black Friday frenzy but wanted to contribute to the cause.
Related: Holiday deals shaping up to be best in years
As Black Friday dawned, the plan was in place.
Buzzing from caffeine and adrenaline, the crew assembled after Thanksgiving meals, willing to skip a second slice of pie for the thrill of the deal and the chance to give back.
Crothers split the group into smaller teams and gave each a big envelope. Inside was a list of what each team was responsible for, the necessary money, a back-up plan in case items sold out and a list of cars with extra trunk space.
"We met, said a prayer, told each other to be safe and then went on our way," said Vanessa Barker, an office manager at a Toledo high school and member of the coupon-tourage.
The group hit eight stores in total: JC Penney (JCP, Fortune 500), Toys R Us, Target (TGT, Fortune 500), Kohl's (KSS, Fortune 500), Learning Express, Game Stop, Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) and the regional superstore chain Meijer.
Barker's first task was to grab some Nintendo 3DS at Game Stop before heading to JC Penney. There, she scored several $200 winter jackets for just $15, $50 boots marked down to $17, and jeans for $6.
The group convened at 2 a.m. to go over what they had bought, evaluate what was left to purchase, down some more caffeine and unload their already-full cars. They prayed that they would find a special bedding set for one of the family's young daughters -- which was proving to be especially tricky to pin down -- and headed out for more.
Related: Wal-Mart's Black Friday deals
While Black Friday has a reputation for being aggressively hectic and downright dangerous, their group was too focused on executing its plan to notice.
Danielle Kisch, who rode with Crothers, saw other crazed shoppers, but no one on her team was stressed.
"We had a strategy of exactly where to go and what to get," she said.
They ate in the car between stores. Stopping for a full meal was not on the agenda.
At 2 p.m. the next day, 17 hours after they started, the coupon-tourage met at Crothers' house to take inventory. They came away with every item on their lists.
They stared at $10,000 worth of items that afternoon, which they got for just $2,000. Everything they bought went to the local families.
The months of planning, sleepless night and hyped-up crowds won't stop Crothers, Kisch and Barker from doing it all again this year.
"It's exhausting, but the more deals you get, the more excited you get, and the purpose of giving back pumps you right back up," Barker said. "Plus, a little bit of coffee keeps you going."

Scoring options:
1) Brian Scalabrine 3pt sky hook
2) Brian Scalabrine crossover
3) Brian Scalabrine spin and fade away
But he might play unselfish and sit on the bench until the playoffs, getting his other teammates involved.
Sig should be working now. DA BULLS!!
no he said it would be 1 point for any future changes. Im not sure if that means just if I change one of the pictures or if i change any of the names. But I really am not too concerned about the points. The sig was well worth it in my opinion.

How to Be a Team Player When You Work With a Slacker
Be productive when working with your office's Lazybones.
Identify the slacker. He compliments you, then asks you to do something for him in the same breath. He's consistently late to team meetings. He has excuses about why he can't attend meetings or fulfill his deadlines. These are all sure signs you may be dealing with someone who is happy to let everyone else do the work.
Learn to say no. For many people, it's difficult to tell co-workers no. Mostly you don't want to create discord at work. But being someone who always says yes means you'll take on more than your fair share of the workload, which can bring down morale and create undue stress.
Confront the behavior. Sometimes all a slacker needs is for someone to call attention to the behavior. Share your concerns and be specific about the behavior that troubles you without being threatening or negative.
Give each team member an assignment. One reason that you might end up taking on more work than you should—especially if you're a Type A—is because many team projects don't have clearly defined roles. If you start a project by giving each person a specific set of tasks, that's what she'll be responsible for during the project.
Assess each team member's strengths, and try to give assignments that play to each. For example, if one team member is good at writing, give her the task of creating the copy for the website you're building. Having assignments they're qualified to do can help everyone to want to carry their own workload.
It can also help to designate a team leader. That might or might not be you, but choose someone who isn't afraid to keep team members on task and help them meet deadlines.
When It Becomes Too Much
If you feel you're being taken advantage of on a regular basis and that you have confronted the behavior but none of your efforts to resist are working, you may feel it's time to speak to your supervisor about the situation. If you go to your manager, make sure you have some documentation; otherwise it's just a "he said, she said" situation. Most importantly, if you are going to tell your manager about the slacker, the behavior should be something that personally affects YOUR work on the team. If it doesn't, it looks like you're meddling in a situation that you shouldn't.
Focus on Being a Team Player
A project at work is much more successful if your team members work together. Put aside any personal feelings toward your co-workers, and make your objective completing the project on time and with your best efforts. Communicate openly with your team, and keep any emotions out of the equation. Be an equally good listener; if there are issues others are having, address them now before they get bigger.

I heard that Madeira citrine was now rare so grabbed the last pair of these, along with a garnet. They are soooo pretty!! The earring wire part is quite thin but no problem hooking it into place, glad I got them!

great choice
By TSN shopper
from edmonton ab
I ordered these earrings in citrine. They are light and easy to wear, and are delicate, retro looking and lovely. The yellow gold trim accentuates the golden citrine color, and I have found that I can wear them with just about any color.

These are exactly as shown in the picture and video, are so pretty, and are nicely made. I bought the blue topaz to match the topaz/aquamarine bead bracelet (as it will match perfectly with another pair of aquamarine drop earrings I bought years ago from Gems En Vogue/TSC). I'm thrilled to own such gorgeous, precious pieces from these talented artists. Whole heartedly reccomended.
Absolutely lovely

I have been looking for red earrings for months. These are beautiful and the accent of 18k gold is perfect. The red garnets are bright and gorgeous. I could not find any thing nicer and will have them for many years.Francy

Starting January 1, 2014, if someone doesn't have a health plan that qualifies as minimum essential coverage, a penalty will apply. The penalty fee is equal to one percent of a person's income or $95 per adult (whichever amount is higher) in 2014 to 2.5 percent of income or $695 per adult in 2016. The fee for children is half the adult amount. It's important to remember that even when an individual pays the penalty, they won't receive any health insurance coverage, and they are still responsible for 100 percent of the cost of their medical care.
After open enrollment ends on March 31, 2014, individuals won't be able to get health coverage through the Marketplace until the next annual enrollment period, unless there is a qualifying life event.
The HealthCare.gov web site provides more information regarding the penalty policy of the Affordable Care Act and Health Insurance Marketplace.
Our library has some great resources that can help you learn more about this topic. Some recommended titles include New Care System, Beating Obamacare and Health Care Reform Simplified, an ebook from Books 24x7 Health and Wellness Essentials.
